The tide is turning at ebout the usual time, It is true that In this age of aviation nothing soars like beef prices, not evea the price of Easter hats; but how gently eggs have tumbled from 60 cents a dozen, elear down to 19 and 20 by the case: and salt’is cheaper by two d@ollars per ton; but it would be more to the adventage of the public if sugar ‘was going the same way. But these are days when the consum- er can appreciate little advantages. As an edibie, salt figures small. An estimator finds that the average per- son eonsmmes, perhaps, haif an ounce of salt in & day. He will save a dol- lar by the present reduction in exactly 166 years and eight months, providing, of course, the lower price does not tempt him to over-indulgence. That's Rearly twenty-five cents from the Zro- rer’s bill every forty years. It isn't much of a reduction, to be sure, but it is getting out of the shadow. And toal hes Gropped 350 cents a ton in iarge orders. Then spinach and straw- berries and all the rest of the green things are moving toward the days of plenty and lower prices.

President Mellen of the Consolidat- ed road has agein shown how a spirit of fairmess will prevent {ndusfria. atrife,. The touchstone of his success appears to be that he conside-s all issues In a co-operative spirit, and reats the men as if they had every ht in the game of life whish he himself is entitled to. There are a few captains of industry in this coun- ry who belleve that it pays to give 2 square deal to everybody, and they ere not the men wko are creating strife and a state of anarchy ia the places where they dwell and do busi- ness. . It has been well said by one of these men, that “if the activities of life were viewed as less of a game, cailing into play the cunning skill and adroit- ness of men; if they were regarded more as co-operative efforts; ycs, if they were considered strictly from the viewpoint of the enlightened selfisnucss which recognizes that one man's wel- fare is dependent upon another's, it would soon be realized that resuits #nd profits are mulsiplied by promot- ing a spirit of good fellowship.” The men who drive men as if they were brutes, harass them in their dat'y pursuits as if they were dogs, aud who themselves can display a sease- lessness and obstinacy that wou-1 be- come a mule, are the men who keep labor {ll-natured, who promote social- ism of the worst type, and realiy cre- ate conditions which make both iife and property insecure.

If it is true that you used to raise good apples, why don’t you do 1t agamn? Coming along on the Boston & Albany railroad I saw more vacant land than you would see in the whole of western Oregon, from Portland to Medford.” New England needs this kind of crit- icism. Agriculturally it has ceased to do things. It has in consequence of its manufactures and attractive cities lost its grip upon agricultural enter- prise. There is no reason why farms should be sold at grab-bag rates; or why fertile lands should be left to ‘multiply noxious weeds when with a small outlay of capital and labor they could be made productive. A MOTHER’S LETTER. There are points in life when what appear to be just or wholesome laws be- come really a source of tyranny or persecution. Read the following let- ter from m Chicago mother, who de- serves assistance rather than hind- rance, She makes this complaint to a Chicago paper: “I have @ large family and do all my own work—sewing, washing and ironing, I kept one of the children home each week to help me wash, and in time the truant officer came to see me to find out what was the cause of the absence of the child. I told her I Zeeded the child to help me on wash day and the officer told me in no po- lite way that hereafter if I wanted to keep one of the children at home I shoulé go to the principal of the school and get permission for one-half day, but that I could not have their help for one, full day under any considera- jtion, as the children belonged to the |state of Illinois. She added that she {would have charges preferred against {me if I should keep one of them home |for a half-day without permission. If |this would not cause race suicide I |should like to know what would. If the children Delong to the state why {not let the state support and educate them as well as get them?” ‘The issue here is whether this strug- gling woman ought to be broken in spirit and become a dependent upon the town just to carry out the letter of such a law as this. If the state as- sumes to own the child—or to prevent it from doing work—it certainly should ‘be compelled to contribute toward the support of the child during school age. ‘This mother has filed a just protest iagainst an interference which is in its effect injurious and to a degree inhuman, H EDITORIAL NOTES.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. An Appeal to the Clubs, Mr. Editor:—The publication in the Hartford Courant of a list of clubs that pay an internal revenue tax as retail liquor dealers suggests a very important subject for public discus- sion. Have you room for a brief ap- peal to the members of these clubs? ‘With all the possibilities growing out of the custom of social drinking is it wise to continue this form of enter- | talnment? Young men who would not | pau?nm a common bar, at first, form | the drink habit at the club. While this | may not be true of all the members it {is true of some. A wife has recently complained to us that her husband spends his Sun- days at one of these clubs, using the money that is needed in the home and coming to her at the close of the day in an intoxicated condition.
